Does anyone know if the sparco M3 (front) brace will fit directly onto an Enlgish e30 318iS (Right hand drive)?
Cheers

It fits on a LHD with a little modification

If it fits the M3, you should be fine. The issue that comes into play with both of these motors is that the intake manifolds are very tall and the engines are located very close to the firewall, so there isn't much room for a brace. Generally speaking, if it fits one, it will fit the other. My brace did require a washers underneath it to increase clearance slightly, though.
